Book Description
2023 Spur Award Winner * Historical Novel Society Editor's Pick "Appealing characters match satisfying puzzles. Historical fans will be delighted." —Publishers Weekly Sometimes you can't keep your gown out of the gutter... Inez Stannert has reinvented herself—again. Fleeing the comfort and wealth of her East Coast upbringing, she became a saloon owner and card sharp in the rough silver boomtown of Leadville, Colorado, always favoring the unconventional path—a difficult road for a woman in the late 1800s. Then the teenaged daughter of a local prostitute is orphaned by her mother's murder, and Inez steps up to raise the troubled girl as her own. Inez works hard to keep a respectable, loving home for Antonia, carefully crafting their new life in San Francisco. But risk is a seductive friend, difficult to resist. When a skeleton tumbles from the wall of her latest business investment, the police only seem interested in the bag of Civil War-era gold coins that fell out with it. With her trusty derringer tucked in the folds of her gown, Inez uses her street smarts and sheer will to unearth a secret that someone has already killed to keep buried. The more she digs, the muddier and more dangerous things become. She enlists the help of Walter de Brujin, a local private investigator with whom she shares some history. Though she wants to trust him, she fears that his knowledge of her past, along with her growing attraction to him, may well blow her veneer of respectability to bits—that is, if her dogged pursuit of the truth doesn't kill her first.

Book Description
The tenth-anniversary edition of the book that changed lives in profound ways, now with a new foreword and afterword. In 2006, a groundbreaking feature-length film revealed the great mystery of the universe—The Secret—and, later that year, Rhonda Byrne followed with a book that became a worldwide bestseller. Fragments of a Great Secret have been found in the oral traditions, in literature, in religions and philosophies throughout the centuries. For the first time, all the pieces of The Secret come together in an incredible revelation that will be life-transforming for all who experience it. In this book, you’ll learn how to use The Secret in every aspect of your life—money, health, relationships, happiness, and in every interaction you have in the world. You’ll begin to understand the hidden, untapped power that’s within you, and this revelation can bring joy to every aspect of your life. The Secret contains wisdom from modern-day teachers—men and women who have used it to achieve health, wealth, and happiness. By applying the knowledge of The Secret, they bring to light compelling stories of eradicating disease, acquiring massive wealth, overcoming obstacles, and achieving what many would regard as impossible.

Book Description
People lived peacefully in the vast lands called the Old World, north of the Sandvelôr mainland. But the turn in their fate was very sudden; For a long time Riâthdor was planning, behind the black walls, secretly preparing his dark forces for the great war. One night in autumn, from behind the Firepit Mountains, the dark warriors of Riâthdor began to flow; moreover, with powers and numbers that people had never witnessed or even imagined in their lives until that moment. This incident made its name written in history as the "Red Destruction". Riâthdor the Cursed Darkness has unleashed his wrath across the Old World, aided by his army of dark beings. Most of the people were driven far south, beyond the Storm Mountains and deep into the vast Mist Forest; except for the people who take shelter in the Sunset Port region behind the Hope Mountains, where the dark forces have not yet reached. And one day, ships belonging to the Palôthien Kingdom were seen in Sunset Port. Of course, the Santûes did not come across all those miles of sea in vain; they set sail to invite people who had fallen on hard times after the Red Destruction to Palôthien with the promise of a peaceful life. Ultimately, that day, humans viewed the invitation of the santûes moderately and agreed to settle in Palôthien. However, on the island, a terrible secret was hidden behind the high walls of the city known as the "Circle". And in the depths of the Impenetrable Caves, there is another terrifying secret... This story, written about sacrifice, betrayal, friendship, loyalty, revenge, love, mercy, cruelty and war, begins on the day when Rôyîl's invitation to the Circle was made. As you turn the pages, you will find yourself in an adventurous time travel that reveals the secrets of Hidden Island.
